That is precisely the contract violation I'd like to see reported, but,
without the shadowing of serialize and deserialize, the error is reported
in terms of `+`. (And, if it wasn't clear, I do intend to actually read and
write the serialized instance.)

I (think) I understand why deserialization strips the contract from the
instance: the contract is added at the module boundary using the
chaperone/impersonator infrastructure, and deserialization uses the
unprotected form of `adder` passed to `make-deserialize-info` within the
server module.

What I don't understand is how to give `make-deserialize-info` a function
that (1) has a contract where (2) fulfilling the range part of the contract
becomes the deserializing module's obligation — if such a thing is
possible. Aside from attempts with `define/contract` (which as I now
understand achieved point 1 but not point 2), I've also tried putting the
definition of `deserialize-info:adder-v0` in a different module, so that
its version of `adder` has a contract, but then the binding isn't seen by
`make-serialize-info`.
